Memories and Condolences
for Bobby Butts

Not sure what to say?





My condolences to the family. I just found out when I was looking to see if Bobby on fb since I've only been on it this yr. I saw him in the Wellington Christmas Parade about 2? years ago on Exy. but not last year. Didn't go this year. Remember when we did the Okeechobee one? Gee I miss Bobby, "Exy" & "Stormy" & my "Honey" & "Alexander" but not doing any more dog or horse shows. Someone else owns the barn we were in now. Hope the family is well. I'll let our mutual horsey friends know. Still a few around locally yet.

Dear Char and family, I am so sorry to hear of Bobby's death. You are all in my heart and I send my most sincere sympathy. I have always felt happy that our wonderful home went to you and I enjoy so much all the improvements that Bobby and you brought to it. Let's assume that he is at peace and is riding beautiful horses whenever his heart desires! My deepest sympathies to you and yours.
